First off, the ugly baby discussion is not meant to be a deep unpacking of societal beauty standards. It's just an observation that gave me a chuckle.

I saw a baby and thought "wowsers. I'm glad that funky guy isn't my baby." Then I realized nobody in their right mind would tell a mother her baby wasn't cute. That's just not a thing. So therefore you have no idea how subjectively cute YOUR baby is. To you they are perfect, and nobody is going to be jerk enough to tell you otherwise, so it doesn't matter. Everyone could be thinking the same about your baby. XD

Some of you take this too seriously. Motherhood is hard and beautiful but it's weird and funny too. If you don't take time to appreciate some of the absurdity you are going to rupture.

No, "nanny goats" here. Just moms with opinions. We WILL tell you what we think.

Some babies arent cute. Fact of life. I would never say that to a parent or anyone honestly. But some babies are not cute. I love babies. And if there is a baby in the room and I know the parents I will hold it at one point. I cant resist. But some babies arent cute. And on the flipside some of the pageant and baby models arent cute. And I dont care 2 shiny pennies if you think my kids are cute or not.
